Apollon take on the visitors Atalanta at “Neo GSP Stadium” in the gameweek four of the UEFA Europa League Group stage. The match will be played in Nicosia on Thursday, November 2nd.
On the eve of their Eurocups battles Apollon won two back-to-back clashes in the Cypriot First Division: 1:0 over Aris and 4:2 over Doxa. With seven rounds behind, Apollon sit on the fifth place in the elite division standings with 15 points taken and 17-7 goal difference, having earned not a single defeat. Nevertheless, the Cypriots are doing not so well in the UEFA Europa League as the team picked up only two points with 4-6 goal difference in three encounters which brought the side to the third position in Group E table. The Cypriots have not been broken in front of their fans in this season so far, having gained 16 victories and three draws in 19 matches played since the 1st of February. The club’s home winning series counts for four clashes and has been lasting since the 18th of September.

Meanwhile, Atalanta lost 1:2 to Udinese in the Serie A before the Eurocup fight. “La Dea” occupies the 10th place in the Serie A table with 15 points gained and 18-15 goal difference after 11 gameweeks played. As for the UEFA Europa League, Atalanta take the lead in the group with seven points taken, seven goals for and two goals against, being the main contender for promoting to the spring Play offs. However, it should also be mentioned that Atalanta couldn’t win on the road in this season, having recorded three draws and three losses.
The Italian club succeeded in its recent clash against the Cypriot team with 3:1 scoreline at its own turf which makes them the favourites of the upcoming battle. Nevertheless, taking into account Apollon’s statistics at the home field, I believe that the hosts are quite able to give a fight to their rival but I don’t expect many goals scored in that game.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
